Alien Lyrics

With my faded map thirty years old And the landscape's changed and I am moving too slow And people notice my quaint dress I ran the last five miles breathless And the sky looks like oil and the warm rain hurts As I stumble along past the haunted dirt Of the broken pavements of this couldn't-care town No orders came down with me when I was beamed down here CHORUS I am alien I was built for another world I am alien I'm the kind of creature dogs never bite Women don't run to men never fight A translucent hitcher with nothing to say I was born yesterday I was born just yesterday CHORUS+ I carry messages in language I do not understand I am alien Come hold this alien's hand With my worn-out name in another man's shoes And these alien streets I wander through Grattan hausmann la guardia wren Proud departures garbled ends Just stone to clean just stone to mend CHORUS+ Are you alien as well?
